Another month in 2022 is in my rearview mirror on my road to express thankfulness. This adventure sometimes becomes a challenging task, but I’m discovering so many things to be thankful for each day. Focusing on the positive despite all the tragedies in the world makes me happy. It motivates me to work toward positive change. Being grateful drives away fear. I can see so many potholes in the road, but I start my day searching for the blessings in my life. These events or things might seem small and insignificant, but they add up to a giant pile of happiness at the end of the road. I am inviting you to come along for the ride. Why don’t we all travel the road of gratefulness in June? This post covers day 238 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 238 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 238 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful to spend time with one of our sons we haven’t seen in years. It was a wonderful visit. I’m not going to go into details, but the last time we saw him, it was under bad conditions. This visit proved to me everyone has growth potential. It is also an example of how time can heal all wounds. Every family has issues. The secret is how well you put broken things back together after the hurt has moved into the past. That doesn’t mean you put yourself into a position to be walked on again, but there is forgiveness for the bad things in the past. I am grateful for the time Rooster and I spent with our oldest son.
This old lady was happy to spend time with her son.
This old lady has learned thanksgiving is a matter of choice. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. Even in dark places, it is good to seek the light. My blessings may not be the same as yours because I’m old. I bet if you dig deep, you can come up with something to be thankful for today. Don’t neglect to see the good things before your face because you hear the world is falling apart. Let me tell you a secret. The world always falls apart when you focus on the doom and gloom. You won’t always find thankfulness an easy road, but it’s an adventure we can all take together. What are you thankful for today? Leave a comment, and bless my heart. I am not being sarcastic when I say that. I could use the encouragement as much as the next person.
